  • Paganism or Indigenous Ethnic Religions were the oldest religions. If you read the book "Eternity In Their Hearts" written by and about a Christian missionary, you will find that, although indigenous tribes have different creation myths, they all had and have the concept of ONE CREATOR, even if they have no idea who Jesus is. That's because there was one Creator-based, nature-based religion. We were put here to be caretakers of the Earth.

  • zoroastrianism is the oldes monotheistic religion though..

  • GOD BLESS U FOR MAKING IT....YAHushua read and tough from the Torah...the Torah reading people nailed him to that cross on that calveryHill and it is him that the Torah said would come...this is all so strange and true!

  • But you just said that Hinduism is MORE THAN 5000 years old! How come at the end you have a figure of 6000... I think Judaism has almost an exact figure of 4000 BC plus 2000 years after Christ, totaled 6000 years... If any other religion is claiming to be more than 6000 years old, you gotta give me atleast some approximate year (Not things like MORE THAN 6000 or MORE THAN 10,000)!!

  • @isaacild Judaism has a fisure of about 1700 BC not 4000 BC. The first book of the Torah is Genesis, this book ends with Joseph's death in Egypt and is written in the past tense, thus the origin of Judaism is founded with Abram's (Abraham's) covenant and the earliest possible origin for its 1st book is Joseph, since his death would have had to already happened to be written in past tense.

  • BUDDHA WAS BORN IN NEPAL ... NOT IN INDIA PLEASE !!

  • @18chandani nepal was india at that time bro :)..

  • @18chandani ... Please Nepal was a part of India ! ... Please use ur brain !

  • Animism (nature spirits) is almost as old as humanity itself.

  • In the BBC show, The Incredible Human Journey they found these lion carvings in different parts of the world dating back waaaaaay before any of the religions we know today. Since the statures were the same, and were found in caves thousands of miles apart, suggests the first type of global worship after branching out of Africa.

  • Snake worship 70,000 years ago.

  • Shamanic pagan religions predate all of these. Look back to the cave paintings and statues dating 35 thousand years old.

  • You people never understand the antiquity of Hindu religion.In fact,it is much older than 10,000 years.For you people,ignorance is bliss and knowledge!

    Nobody cant do anything for this!

    We have very oldest Solar dynasty list still maintained in India,this list include Menes(Greek Version) but Asa Manja(Hindu Version),Aha Manja(Egyptian version),the First Pharaoh of Egypt.

    The problem here is you people have little or no knowledge on ancient History of Sanadhan Dharma(HInduism)

  • @Saraswathiputra This video even says 'four great monotheist faiths' ... yet if anyone reads the Hindu texts they are monotheist saying the only god Krishna, or Vishnu in spiritual form, is supreme.

    The truth is while the Hindu texts were written 8000-5000 years ago, they give stories dating far far back, meaning the religion itself is far older than the texts.

  • @tahr4801 Hinduism is not montheistic, nor is it Polytheistic...Hinduism is a form of Monism. The belief that everything is part of one whole. In Hinduism there is only one everything, not a god or gods seperate from us, but a universal spirit, Brahma, that we are all part of. Imagine Brahma as the body, then the gods are the major organs and we humans are like cells.

  • I would say either Judaism or Hinduism, but mostly the former, since as a Christian, I'm supposed to believe all the ancient events that took place in the Holy Bible are true and that our almighty Lord Yahweh is right with us from the very beginning, so yeah I think Judaism should kinda be the oldest (monotheistic) religion in world history, since its sacred word/texts been revealed/established to us since around at least 2000 BCE.

  • I wouldn't say that Göbekli Tepe ( 11.500 BP) in turkey is an hinduistic temple - it's animistic. Nor would I say the manistic ancestry-portraits, the veneri and and animals of siberian and european Aurignacien and Gravettien are hinduistic. Biface-handaxes had a sort of tool making/ingeniuty-cult, too, since some of them are too heavy to use and were most likely put on display as some sort of totems. and they date back to the Acheulean, and that started about 1,68 or even 1,8 MILLION years.

  • I don't know what the oldest religion is, but I know what the biggest cult claiming to be a religion is. Muslimism.

  • @saints360row

    Ha ha. Good one!

  • @saints360row Strange, I've never heard about it before.

  • How you people sticking or knowing only last century details itself surprising.When you people really will come to modern details which provide more authenticity and clarity!

  • Ha!Ha!How you are fools on Hindu religion and it concepts.The concepts of HIndusim are much much older.The problem you people kept in perennial foolishness because of lack of authentic materials.

    Recent discovery of dried Saraswathi river pushing the age of Rigveda to 6000BC or still above.

    Instead,keeping yourself in ignorance,you people should try to get materials from authors and verify it to know more!

  • You missed out Taoism, which was formed at around 3 to 4 BC, it was the primary religion for the ancient Chinese until overtaken by Buddhism, but is still alive and practised in many places.

  • islam is the youngest religion and is at the same time the most stupid one

  • harrignos, sorry for your foolishness.It is proved Lord Krishna left his mortal coil in 3102 BC AND MAHABHARATA WAR TOOK PLACE IN 3129 BC.THIS IS VERY MUCH CONFIRMED BY TWO ECLIPSE WITH IN 15 DAYS MAHABHARATA DETAIL verified as accurate BY OUR MODERN COMPUTERS..

    Modern dried Saraswati river discovery confirms the above.Lord Krishna clearly says in Bhagavat Gita that Hindu concepts are existing many thousands of year before him.

    Stop your bull shit.Hinduism is very very ancient religion.

  • @Saraswathiputra Not that it matters how old a religion is, but Sumerian mythology, Canaanite religion and animism are all older than Hinduism. I find it easy to find fault in them all.

  • @NathanSnyder13 Sumerians and Canaanites originates only about 3000 BC so what are you talking about. it's not older then Hinduism. Plus they only found texts of the Hindu religion in 6000 BC. But Hindu's Sanskrit is the oldest written language in the world, as old as 50,000 BC, but it's probably even older then that, cause the oldest evidence of written language they found was 50,000 BC, and in Hindu's ancient Sanskrit it depicts Hinduism to be as old as millions of years old. Look it up.

  • says in description lol

  • whats the song

  • True Christianity is the continuation and fulfillment of Judaism. All the first Christians knew this, most of them were Jews, and NONE of those Jews considered themselves "no longer Jewish" because they believed in the Jewish Messiah, Jesus.

    The New Testament also CLEARLY states that any new believer in Christ has actually become grafted into Israel and so is a Jew in essence and heritage, and no longer a "Gentile". True Christians trace their faith back before Abraham even to Noah.

  • Hinduism isn't in the same "religion" category as the rest of these. Hinduism is more a grouping of tribal religions within the Hindu megapantheon. For instance, Judaism grew out of a specific tribe which comes from the Canaanite and Sumerian cultures. Indeed, Abraham was born in Sumer. If we are to count this Abrahamic tribe within its own Canaanite or Sumerian pantheon, then that would indeed be the oldest.

  • Sumerians never been semitic or others but Aryans from ancient India.

    Dont tell twisted truth!

  • Dumb asses!Prostitution existed only in Semitic cultures not in Hindus.Do you know anything on Devadasi system and authentic record to show why it is created.

    They are most scientific and intelligence method to protect ancient arts associated with temple!

    What one an do for like you dumb asses always there to spoil anything by their vulgar mind!!

  • @Saraswathiputra Actually Babylonians and Assyrians started the whole prostitution thing as a religious practice. Although there were Semitic tribes in Mesopotamia they're customs never included prostitution. Babylonians and Assyrians are actually a derivative of the Sumerians who were a Hamitic people. Learn your cultural anthropology before calling people dumb asses!

  • Watch...

    watch?v=AUEhiJisieY

  • Prostitution is legal in hindoo temples. Devadasis girls from the lowest caste whose parents have given them to local goddesses or temples as human "offerings." Married to God before puberty, the devadasis, many of whom live in the temples, become sexual servants to the villages' upper-caste men after their first menstrual period. In some villages, devadasis are kept as concubines by the men who bought them.

  • which is 2100,000 years old as well. Moreover the Caves of Ajanta Ilora in India is probebly thousands of years old which belongs to Hindu religion as well. and SANSKRIT which is the oldest language in this world proven as mother of all language. Moreover 0 to 9 number discover by Hindu, Maths discover by Hindu known as mathematician Arya Bhatt.

    I found more interesting but can't explain in public platform but which is more shocking about link between hindu and other religions.

    Thax

  • Hi Jack u'r absolutely right what ever u say about Hindu religion but U miss something mate. I did research on Hindu religion. and I found a lots of interesting things that we can't believe suddenly. Have u heard about Ramayana which is the most longest poem in the world which as per Hindu belief which belongs to Lord Rama who were born 2100,000 years ago. Its too much ! but but here is the surprise. Scientist recently found bridge on the sea in between India and Srilanka (Hindu known as Lanka)

  • If we put aside organized religion, the oldest form of worship is Paganism

    (30,000 years ago) \m/

  • i'm Muslim, and i know it aint Islam that's for sure!

  • hei are you crazy !!! buddha is belongs to a hindhu family !!! after that only he created his own religion

  • Zoroastrianism is quite ancient as well...

  • Comment removed

  • I will agree that among the religions covered in the video, Judaism and Hinduism are the only ones that might be the oldest and that Hinduism is probably the oldest. However, animal worship, ancestor worship, sun worship, animism, and primitive forms of paganism most likely all predate Hinduism.

  • In fact,the tenets of Hinduism was created more than 10,000 years.It is still more antiquated and existing before historical deluge.

  • Actually the oldest living religion is Vodou/Voodoo. Dating back to 10,000 years ago. Tried to put some links on my post, but got an error message.

  • Glad Im a Taoist, we dont kill people or abuse women

  • Hinduism is the oldest religion in the world

  • Last religion of course,IsLame the wholly founded fucking and killing cult by Mohammed who believed his assistant God Allah to come to help in all his fuckings of all women irrespective age and social position.

    Astonishingly,for Mohammed his God given permission to fuck a kid Ayesha,a women 18 year older to him,his own maid servant besides killing many male member of a many families may be husband or brother by terror raids,to fuck all women!!

    Really,Fucking God is great!!

  • Sumerian was just elongation of Vedic Hindu civilization from Indus.

  • sumerian , first human civilization , first religion

  • Hinduism is the oldest religion

  • NO ! well first i am a muslim! second i'll tell you how!

    1) judaism ...

    2) christianity ...

    3) islam ...

    and thats what we've learned from the quran ! ( our hollybook ) and because thoses three are the only ones who belevied in god ! and beleive it or not!

  • @Gabby4you

    the prophets Hud and Saleh were sent to their people, that's another two religions.

    Also, according to Islamic tradition, there was 100,000+ more prophets sent to various peoples.

  • Comment removed

  • @smartwarlord well what ive known is and it is the truth, hud and saleh were prophets and they were teaching people that time to stop praying to rocks and stuff like that and start to pray to god ! and it wasnt a new or different religion its just to pray to god himself. and the last religion was islam (who beleived in god) and how did we know that? because jeasus peace be upon him told his people that theres a last prophet that will come and he showed them how he looked like and it's mohamed

  • paganism is still alive but very weak.

  • Odd, you left out some of the "Dead" religions from Punt, Egypt, Sumeria, ancient Greece, and even the Pagans of Stonehenge. Even tho these religions are dead, they did give our modern religions their roots .

  • The oldest religion in the world is Hinduism.

    The Sacred books of Hinduism, The Vedas, are the oldest books written in the history of mankind.

  • What is the oldest religion?

    It shouldn't seem to matter to reason.

    It's like asking the question "Which was the first group to get distracted?"

    The chronology of religions doesn't give the earlier ones some sort of stature over the later ones.

    When you realise that they are all man-made efforts to explain, console, control, etc. you tend to realise that 'which assumption came first?' is irrelevent.

  • Also there is no time when lords and Gods, like Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma, Saraswati, Lakshmi, Parvati were actually on planet earth. Who knows how long ago they walked on this planet. Now they are here through omni presence. If I only knew.

  • Thanks for the video and I have read the book about five religions without Sikhism religion many years ago and still having the book. It is TRUE! It's started from Hinduism and it is the first and the oldest relegion "Hinduism". Great video for knowledgement (Education & History) Thanks again!

  • Buddha, Jesus Christ, Allah, are all differnet forms of Krishna, who is the 8th re incarntion of the Supreme Lord and Preserver of the Universe Lord Vishnu.

  • oldest and specal and perfect religion hinduisum man... all hindus have place in heaven 

  • @naveenreddynokian73 no you will get place in cows ass biatchhh

  • @dumbengr so i will tell u from were ur allah word came... Once mohomad was going to piss piss is not comming out of him then he said allah then piss came out from there allah word derived sooo stop saying allah say bullllaaaa oooo akbar..

  • @naveenreddynokian73 whatevea spammer!

  • Yes Hinduism is the oldest religion and culture in the entire world. It goes back before pre historic times. Hinduism is the mother of every religion on earth. And that is a fact if you do proper research.

  • Comment removed

  • @dadubbel Hinduism goes back before Pre historic times. This has been proven. Hinduism the name is rather young. The correct term for Hinduism is Sanatana Dharma which is the oldest living religion today. Every other religion is a different form of Hinduism. Over time a Philisophy becomes seperate, then idiot people make there own words, to maek them look supreme. True people Know where they come from and what the truth is in this world.

  • Comment removed

  • @dadubbel Hinduism has no founder nor does anyone have an exact date when it started. Hindus believe when the world was created thats when Hinduism began. In other words when the Planet is spinning and evolving Hinduism is here. Ancient Hindu Texts are quite interesting in the depth knowledge they give, not many people know what Hinduism really is. The Vedas are known to be the Keys to the Universe they explain alot. Our texts say Everyone, God, People, Plants, animals are from One Source.

  • @dadubbel Hindus believe we all come one from Brahman. not the God creator Brahma not the caste Brahmin, we call him BRAHMAN everythign the Universe is created by him and earth. This Supreme Energy is beyond mind and intellect, he is vaste through out and Infinite in this world and Universe. Google BRAHMAN and it will give more detailed information. Hindus believe you can pray to Jesus, Allah, Buddha, Krishna, which ever Deity all in all all prayers go back to One Supreme Brahman.

  • Comment removed

  • @dadubbel I understand what you are saying. The thing is Hindus believe in cycles. Satya, Tretya, Dwarpara, And kali, when ever a a cycles finishes they say the world is destroyed then re created. Or something along those lines. so alot of history could be long and gone. And the world today only can see what historical evidence there is remaining. Any thing prior is long and gone. Only books and ancient writings are the evidence we have left.

  • @dadubbel Also look into Mount Kailash. It is known to be the center of the Universe. Some people say this is where everything began for earth. The mountains has 4 sides, and has surrounding mountains around it. It resembles a Lotus Flower which is extremley sacred to the Hindu culture. It is believed to be the abode of Lord Shiva his consort Parvati, and there two sons, Ganesha, and Kriteykaya. This mountain is very special and has great powers to anyone that can reach this mountain.

  • @dadubbel Kailiash also holds the highest fresh water lake in the world known as Mansoravar. which was created in the mind of Lord Brahma. It brings miracles and gets rids of all sins once anyone dips into this sacred lake. People say there is a Golden Tree which is in the middle of the lake and this tree gets rid of all diseases and miseries in ones life. This whole area is unique. Himalayas together hold alot of ancient secrets.

  • Comment removed

  • @dadubbel There is alot of proof Hinduism goes back the furthest, scientist have said time and time again India and Hinduism are the oldest and most ancient then any other culture or religion. India is known to be the cradle of civilization, the birth place of language and mother of every God and religion. My parents and very very intelligent people have said India's civilization goes back millions of years.

  • @dadubbel Oh also alot of ancient India has been destroyed by outside invaders who wanted to wipe Hinduism of the map. first islam they destroyed millions and millions of ancient and majestic Hindu temples and palaces, then the british came. India was the richest country in the world since beggining of time, then invaders stole the wealth. eg. Islam destroyed temples anything to big they converted to an islam style building. eg. Taj Mahal is actually a Hindu temple names Tejo Mahalaya. Google It

  • no Tamil is the oldest language in the world!! it is older than sanskrit - FACT

    therefore it is the mother language of all the other languages in the world

  • cavemanism!!!

  • hinduism

  • Modern archeology proves much much antiquity to Vedas and it foundations.Modern genetics proves that Aryans were in India for the last 40,000 years.

    Now,Vedic details corresponds to the time frame which are more than 10,000 years ago.

  • Comment removed

  • @dadubbel shamanism was practiced by cavemans.. animism was practiced over 1 million years ago as some scientist say.

  • you must think 1000 times before take what indians(hindu) claims. they will still claims even no proofs...look what they write so silly things. shame on you

  • that's your believe but moslem believe that Adam as the first human in the world is moslem, all prophets are moslem that means they submit to God ( Allah ). Hindu not the oldest religion, invaders from west india bring that religion ( could be old persian or aryan or old mesopotamian ). I read name 'hindu' itself come from muslim / persian ( the original name is sindh ).

  • @raflee2008

    you are right

    hind is not the name given to followers of hinduism

    it was given ppl of the india

    but hinduism is oldest surviving major religion

    other older religions have been scrapped

  • if you follow the theory that abraham (a corruption of" brahmin") was a VEDIST COLONIZER and that the middle east

    was colonized by brahmins

    The conclusion is that all religions come from india

  • This is exactly correct but you have left Zoroastrianism which fits in place 2 or 3.

  • Hinduism is the most scientific and most ancient systematic religion of the world.

  • @Saraswathiputra i agree...scientific means the core of its idea is unbreakable i mean its system cannot be said obsolete even in modern times,but there are still weird on it..i mean cannot yet perceived by science..so scientist work hard double Time!!! hehehe

  • oh i c. interesting  . But what abt taoism??

    anyone can share? just wan the info only

    . not comparing ya.

  • polytheism(worship of multiple deities) is the oldest nothing existed for religion before that and its from sumeria which is the "birthplace of history writing .religion and civilization"

  • sorry Zoroastrianism was the first of the monotheistic religions,one god worship ,and the religions older than that are pantheistic,multi-god worship,the sumerians and etc. ahura mazda was the blue print for yahweh and alah . before you make a vid u should really do a little research, theres enough misinformation out here

  • the oldest religion would have to be in iraq its where religion developed and im not talking about Muslims or

    Islams.....

    because they conquered it. so the check it out my religion is yezidi and its being around for about 40,000 years old but there could be older but Mesopotamia is where it started you don't have to believe me .....

  • Paganism was the oldest religion. A group of pagans became hindus. From then on other religions were born. So, practically speaking, oldest religion should be pagans who worshipped sun, moon etc...thats where the myth starts anyway..

  • What about the Goddess religions

  • Comment removed

  • What about Vodun?

  • i Agree.Hinduism is the oldest religion in the world. It's said that, Sunscrit is the mother language of all the languages in the world!

  • @arasi555 cuneiform is older i think

  • you forget the Taoism

  • thanks for putting a clear message that hinduism is the oldest of all religions..the father and foundation of all aswell.

  • Since that there is only one true God, so the oldest religion in the world should be worshipped Him alone..cos' He created all the creatures for the sake of serving Him alone without associates with others..So, I think that was the Islam teachings [by faith] is the oldest...

    Cheers..

    QA:How did the religions evolved from 1 tiny faith?

  • do you know about Zoroastrian (persian religion)

  • @danielkachal apparently not,,to big a rush for his 15 minutes of fame on u tube,,lol

  • great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
